Liquidators for the collapsed developer Evergrande are pursuing a substantial lawsuit, seeking approximately US$8.4 billion from three PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) entities. The claim, filed in Hong Kong, alleges that PwC's global coordinating arm bears responsibility for audits linked to Evergrande's accounting scandal. PwC International is attempting to have itself removed from the suit, arguing it only coordinated global operations and did not directly perform the audits in question, which were handled by PwC Hong Kong and PwC China.
